Bladder Augmentation in the Pediatric Neuropathic Bladder

Abstract

Augmentation enterocystoplasty was used as an aid to reconstruction of the urinary tract and undiversion in 14 children with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. The long-term results have been excellent in children in whom an effective program of clean intermittent catheterization has been possible. The elements and the importance of the preoperative evaluation are discussed.
